Older Homes in a County Seat
Lockhart's older housing shapes its water damage. As the Caldwell County seat, it has neighborhoods of older wood-frame homes near the courthouse square, many on raised floors, with plumbing that's been repaired many times over the decades. Leaks under raised floors collect underneath and soak the subfloor. Newer subdivisions on the edges add slab homes with the familiar attic AC and supply-line issues.
